"I hear that rich brogue. I love to hear it. Is that you, Patrick!" "It is no less than Michael Malone, yer honor, that bids you welcome here, Mister Scott." Great cheering.

FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 1, 1852. Free Democratic State Convention. A Mass Meeting of the Freu Democracy of Indiana will be held at Indianapolis on THURSDAY, October 21, 1852. Hon. JOHN P. HALE, the Free Democratic candidate for President of the United States, will address the Convention. The People of Indiana, of all parties, are respectfully and earnestly invited to attend. Bv order of the STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE. More Thrilling Eloquence. The Whigs every where seem charmed with tho eloquence of General Scott. His style is new and peculiar. As a specimen of his Ciceronian elsquenee we copy the following, which is his grtat speech at Harrodsburgh, Pennsylvania: My count ry.iun of Blair county and the mountains of Pennsylvania, I am very happy to meet yon. I thank Jou sincerely for the honors you have conferred upon me. understand that you are to have a public meeting tomorrow, at which I have no doubt I shall be remembered in your speeches and in your hearts, and I thank you in advance for the honor you intend to confer upon me. I am much fatigued. I have travelled a great ways today, and want some supper. I have had my arm hurt in the crowd, and it pains me considerably. I give yon a thousand thanks for the honor you have done me. I would shake hands with you all if I eould ; as I cannot, I divide my whole heart among you." This is the speech cf General Winfield Scott, the man that Governor Johnson had just introduced to the crowd as the greatest living warrior and most illustrious statesman of the age." This great speech will no doubt be stereotyped and placed among the brightest gems of American oratory Only think of this sentence : " hace traveled a great way to day, and want tone supper.'- Here are thoughts that breathe and words that burn. How trne to nature, ' I leant tome supper. " Like that distinguished individual, Daniel Tucker, ho had come too late for his regular evening repast, and had

got bis irra hurt, and could'nt shake hands. The idea of " I want $ome supper ," was no deubt borrowed from the pathetic language of some dirty-faced boy who, after playing ruant all day, comes home at twilight, and, with the eloquence of nature resting on bis lips, he cries out, "mamma, I want some tapper." No such sentence can be found in all the orations of Cicero or Demosthenes. We recollect of nothing equal to it in the speeches of Webster, Clay, Cass, Calhoun, or Benton. It will no longer do to say that Gen. Scott is not an ora'or. His reputation is established. What other orator or statesman could have conceived of this bri!liant jdea wbipl, in his , Cleveland ... . . , j speech? I am dry, and you are wet and muddy. Sueh sentences as these and a " hasty plate of soup." tec, will no doubt form bright passages in his annual Communications to Congress, should he be elected. JJ"The Journal still persists in its vile and slanderous abuse of Governor Wright. A few days more will de- . I. , .

We cheerfully commend these maps to our citizens f the State generally, as worthy of their patr001?e assertion that the Whig, desire to elect : Judges who will render void the provision in the nei Constitution, giving the privilege of voting to foreigners, is one of those reckless and untruthful assertions for which the .Sentinel is alone distinguished. The Sentinel cannot pr oduce any testimony to sustain it. Indiana Journal. George G. Dunn, of Lawrence county, is one of the most talented ajid efficient stump orators of the Whig party in Indiana. The burden of his song is opposition to the new Conatitution, the 13th article, and the article extending the right of suffrage to foreigners before final naturaliaation. The same remark will apply to Ll . , . . tbe Peche of Gen. KJgore, and Berry R. Sulgrove, one ' 'be Whig candidates for Representative in Ma ; rion county We urn ml nrmml ihm virv one of the whi. --- f a t j .i Ä Whl nd,dtM for Sap reme Judge, was opposed to lh new Constitution, and John B. Howe, who is on the Whig Judicial ticket, in a speech in the Convention, pronounced the 13th article a violation of the Constitution of the United States, and consequently null and void. Is this not some tes timony I O'Hons. John L. Robinson and Willis A. German, attended the great mnsr mealing at Lafayette, on yesterday

Judge Woodward of Pennsylvania and Nativeism. The following extract is from the Harrisburgh Keystone which puts to rest the flimsy charge that Judge Woodward is or ever was a native: But his own statement is not the only evidence that is at hand, of the utter falsehood of this assertion . He has spent a lifetime of opposition to Nativism , and never voted a native ticket in his life, nor afforded them the slightest aid or comfort. In the Reform Convention, though almost the youngest member of it, he was the undisputed leader of that great party which has always been the friend of the foreigner, and the steadfast upholder of the principles of equal rights, which have ever been the shield and buckler of the immigrant. In the mortal struggle for a liberal constitution, which the Whigs opposed by every mancBuvre they eould think of, a motion to amend a resolution offered by one of them, and which was intended to check mate them in their effort to keep foreigners out of the State altogether, is seized upon and perverted into evidence of his own hostility against foreigners. Does any of body suppose, that the Democrats in the convention did not understand this? If they did not, how comes it that after such a violation of their well-known principles, they did not repudiate him? Instead of doing so, they continued to acknowledge him, through the whole fight, as their chosen chief, followed him faithfully, and struck where he struck, until the rotten constitution which the Whigs supported, fell beneath their blows.

It may be asked, how it comes that Judge Woodward has been heretofore so falsely charged with this thing? j We answer, that tho political animosity of desperate men, can make them do anything. II proot ot this were wanting, it could be found, with very little trouble, in the columns of the Pittsburgh Gazette. The sanctimonious editor of that sheet, with Judge Woodward's letter of 1851 before him, garbled and perverted it, and declared that it was a declaration that be was at the time a political Nativist, although it was written for the very purpose of denying it. and did deny it in language perfetly unmistakeable. When the editor of the "Gazette could be guilty o! such baseness, what may we not expect from those who make less pretension to j sanctity? Here we have a candidate for a judieial office, who has always been a Democrat, and alwmvs acted with that nartc in iinnnrt nf ihn foreigners' rirh!a who in I the Reform Convention, declared his opposition to the r -j - -"ri --- o a i 1 Native principle; who might have been Senator of the United States, if he bad yielded one iota to the Natives, but relr-sed to hold that office on such terms assailed very morning as being a Nativist? a.nd by whom? By the organs of that party whicu raised the Bible and Flag stories on Shchk, at every important election has been associated with the Natives in opposition to Judge Woodward and the rest of the Democratic party by men who clasped the bloody lands ol the rioters, fresh from the slaughter of the Irish men, women and children in 1844, and joined them in the crusade against Judge Woodward's party by men who are at this moment supporting a man for the Presidency who claimed to he the founder of Sativum. John II. Bradley. A friend from Morgan county informs us that John H. Bradley, ia bis recent visit to that county, denied - ! that he was ever a free-soiler, or that he had been a ! Van Buren man in 1S4S. To show what little conti- ' deuce is tr be placed in the reckless assertions of tbis man, we append the following a? the true list cf votes i received by the Van Buren Electors in 1848: "., r ph. .i -!-. s MeurV Li. .IISWorill received S,Oo VOleS. I th" H reCeivef "T"" Nathaniel Little r ceived 8,635 votes. j John R. Cravens received 8,635 votes. James H.

Samuel A. rlurl received 8,b41 votes. I T TT : I O a on . i t t t . .;..o,J r)Rniwl Worth received. . votes. .7,479 votes. Yet, in the face of this evidence, John H. Bradley has the boldness to deny that he ever was a free-soiler or a Van Buren Elector. This is the man that is asking the people to vote for him for Congress without distinction of party.

G. Dunn, when he arose and addressed the audience in a long speech, abounding with his peculiar manner and matter, and well seasoned with personalities and abuse. The speaker bewailed the poor Indian who had been driven from his home and the the graves of his fathers, to make room for the rascally Anglo-Saxon race. He lamented and almost howled over the poor son of " Afric's burning sands," who had been dragged from his home and forced into horrid slavery. He almost sher, tears over the 13th article, until his venom was arouse'., which he poured over the people for driving the ft ee blacks from our borders; and finally, such was his agony over the Indian and Negro, that he was aim ost ashamed that he was burn an American. Mr. I) af;or wards walked into some other matters, and among other things gave his opinion about county stock matters, Bus., ate. Some thought that ne was a ttaie Elector, utners, that be was electioneering lor Mr. McCarty, and having got hold of some of Mr. Mc's minutes for his speeches, had, by a mistake, taken the wrong aide of the questions; and others, tbat, he being "filled with indignation," bad began to rally a new party intending to crush both candidates for Governor. There can be no doubt about his effect whatever may have been his intention upon Mv. McCarty, who will rne tbat abolition speech. Gov. Wright, to-day, offered to give-way for Mr. Dunn to make a speech, but it was declined. Mr. Dunn's speech and his declining to give the Governor an opportunity to answer him, will tell with wonderful effect. We love fair play. The candidates for Congress also addressed the people yesterday, and I think that Mr. Davis made a fine impression in his favor. The manly, business-like cast of the man, and the apparent candor of his remarks, could not fail to secure him frienndt and vote. Town, &o. ORBSN

SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 2, 1852. The Law of Descents. Tho Whigs in the Southern portion of this State are making a great hue and cry against the law of last session, which abolishes the widow's right of dower, and gives the widow one third of the real estate in fee simple, in her own right, with power to dispose of it as be pleases, ailed gmg that it is a Domocratic measure. This law provides liberally for widows when the husband dies without a will. If there are no heirs, she takes the estate instead of going to the relations of the deceased, as under the old law. If a man dies, leaving a widow and children with an estate less than 300 dollars in value, the wife takes it without any administration. The main provisions in the bill, we think, are good. Bnt like almost every otber measure of the last session, it was not passed by a party vote. To show that it was not a Democratic measure, or passed by the votes of the Democrats alone, we append the following vote from House Journal, page 1419, Democrats in roman.

Russell. Colonel Alexander W. Russell, Postmaster u this eity, died yesterday morning at five o'clock, after an illness of eight days. He was about fifty-six years of age. Col. Russell settled in Indianapolis in 1S22, where he has ever since resided. Although engaged in busy scenes of life, in the discharge of the delicate and reoponsible duties of public office, yet he lived and died without an enemy. He was a most valuable member of society and enjoyed in a high degree the confidence and esteem of his fellow citizens.

Our remarks in yesterday's Sentinel were intended to apply to the hands employed in running the trains oss this road, and not to the President, Vice President, or Treasurer. We are assured by Mr. Peck, that such things do not meet the countenance of the officers of the road, and that in future they will be prohibited. The right of every American citixen to vote according to the dictates of their judgment, is a right not to he denied to any one; bnt the conductors of the railroad trains, should not use their position to electioneer in a manner offensive to passengers who disagree with them.

The Whig telegraphers, to make all the capital they could out of the transaction, sent their despatches to the East stating that General Scott had presented the widow with a check lor four hundred dollars. It now appears that the four hundred dollars gratuity has dwindled down to twenty dollars a splendid sum for the man who has received $290,000 from the Government.

The name of the talented and accomplished editor is

a ufcieai guaranty that every thing promised here will suicty an, literally performed. As a specimen of the articles it contains we select the following: w THE CUBAN ORGANIZATION. It can no longer be denied that a revolutionary movement of a Very formidable character is rapidly drawing to a head in Cuba. The whole history of tlii remarks ble organixation would make one of the most interesting books of the century. There is a curious fusion of the inflexibility of the brave ami obstinate old Spanish hidalgo, with the fiery zeal and rash enterprise of young America, in the character of its chiefs. About 1824, party of young Cohans, belonging to the principal families of the Island, passed over to Columbia to confer with Roiivar then in the brighten flush of his libera ting victories on t It.- possibilities ot Cuban independence. With persevering enthusiasm these venthful "missionaries ol freedom" epened a correspondence with Coltuiibia and Alexico. and if the President of the United 8tntc. John Quiocv Adams, had not interposed a negative, there is little doubt that at the Congress of American nations which Bolivnr proponed should be held ai Panama, the Spanish American Republics, then at war with Spain, would have united in 1826, m the invasion of Cuba, with iho view ot aiding her to assert a republican independence. Fines, inipriMnnaenl. and exile. fell heavily upon -he heads of the devoted missionaries of Ireedom, but they vowed to each other and their country never to cease their etlorts until Cuba stosd erect, redeemed, and disenthralled, amon the free na tions of the earth, and for a quartet of a century the) have labored faithfully and steadfastly to perfect their vow. All tli it are living are stiil m the Work, sacri ficing eae, fortune, family, and country, some in prison, ! most in exile, and all in inen:-. i:ble privation , but no; one faint-hearted belt aver has ever been loiind among them, a fact rarely paralellcd in the records of conspiracy . It is nearly imp ssible foi a citizen ol this free Union to comprehend tlie danger and diffi nlty of effecting any tiling like concert and organization in a country per, petuallv under the rigot ol mat tial law, wliere the press is fettered with the sternest severity, herc freedom nf speech is an unpaidonahl ciiioe. where person pmp erty. and liie is at the mercy of a Captain General, clothed with al).-olute power (omnimodat facvltadee) , and where even the right of petition is unknown. Meantime a new generation arose in Cuba, a generation full of the pride au,l intelligence of the nineteenth century in America; a generous and high spirited race, bitterly feeling, and impatiently chafing under the accumulate.! abasemeuts ol colonial servitude, and imbued with the republican teachiags and enthusiasm of utoatrot de IAbertad. Their impetuous desire for action was continually hurrying this class of republican theorists into partial conspiracies and local insurrections, which, for want of general concert and well understood combination, only ended in the ruin oi the unfortunate leaders The time seemed to call for more thorough plans than could be effected in Cuba, ami the old missionaries took the field on a new system of action. It was decided to establish in New York, the c ommercial metropolis of the land of unlimited freedom, an organ for gathering, ripening, and dissetuinutinp Um principles and plan of revolution. This organ. nos voice has penetrated every recess, and stirred every min.lv in Cuba with new hopes and anxieties, was called La Verdad, and began its course in January, 1S-1V From that time lue project of wresting Cuba from the power of Spam has advanced Steadily to its completion. There is one feature in tbis system of organization peculiar to itself, and wbieh could only spring from tin- experienced brain of such long-tried conspirators as those Misioneros de Libertad Circles and societies are formed among the "repubh cans" of the Island, which, instead of communicating with ench otber to any dangerous extent, establish relations directly with 'be Cuban Council, securely and permsnently located at the free and sale city of New Xork. and whatevor these local organizations require. from a number of La triad to a printing press or tea steamer, can be ordered through its representative in the Council. It follows that no traitor, if any sbootd arise among them, can betray, or derange to any seiious extent, the general plan oi revolutionary action, for the grand measures arc locked up in the councils of cboseu men, who. by placing themselves on tbis soil, are sitaetail to consult, plan, publish, and organize with unbounded freedom and advantage. Whatever it is essential to communicate is printed in La Vertad, and faUs in seme mysterious noclurnnl shower all over Cuba. It is sent to the conpirators and to their enemies, the Span ish party, with even-handed impartiality. The official know this, for they too are visited in a frequent and unaccountable manner by this pertinacious and unwelcome Trurn, and it peiplexts lliem somewhat in their system of arreting all wln may receive or have in possession he treasonable sheet, for it may sometimes happen that thev arc themselves the principal and only known recipients. To make this confusion the more inextricable, the sectional organizations in Cuba are beginning to print and circulate revolutionary sheets on the Island, although in the midst of anesU and espials, which, faliing almost invariably on innocent and highly respectable families, ends in inflaming them with rebellious sentiments, and creating new circles of organization. Each, as it forms, knows, through La Vertad, where to find its chief, and can send without fear or delay its contributions and representative to the Cuban Council This Council, or Junta, to use the Cuban word, is oniposed of representatives from the various districts of the island, and its members are men of the highest repnta. tion. It has therefore a national dignitv and weight is the eyes of the Cubans, and of course gives proportional uneasiness to the govertnent of Spam, which can no more comprehend how the laws of the United States cac protect such au organization wilUiniu. limits, than Austria could comprehend the reception of Kossuth. In close connection with th- revolutionary movement is the Order of the Lone Star. This young Order bas oris, planting iis Divisions in every city all over the Union. Men of wealth, talent, and high social position are avowedly and actively its leaders, and they do not hesitate to say its members are eager to extend the area of freedom, and take a particularly lively interest in the emancipation of beautiful and oppressed Cnba." but they do not confess to any plan of military expeditions Yet the organization numbers thousands of restless aad daring young men, who, from the necessity of their American nature, could not keep from plunging into the turmoil at the first note of insurrection in Cuba When that note may strike, or with what success, still sleeps jn the unwritten future, bnt or all probabilities, the Matt probable is that Spain will wear much longer the Pearl 0f the Antilles in her diadem. gj-On Sunday last three men, says the Boston Peof, - eaie at the Prospect House," in Heedham. and de . . . i r , i manded Liquor, which was refused, when one of them drew a pistol and snapped it at the landlord. The piece missed nre, and the three reprobates found themselves in a "jng" without liquor in it.
